Buddy Verdict
GTA 6 is included with Xbox Game Pass.
Verdict
Status: False
False. Microsoft Store sells GTA VI (£69.99 in the UK) and lists it as included with no Game Pass plan. We found no Game Pass announcement.
Why “False”
Microsoft Store’s UK listing data for GTA VI shows an empty list of the passes it is included with, next to its price. We found no announcement from Microsoft or Rockstar that GTA VI is coming to Game Pass, at launch or later. Take-Two’s CEO said in June 2022 that making new console games available on subscription on day one doesn’t make sense to the company, but that was a general comment, not about GTA VI. This verdict is as of the date checked: if Microsoft adds GTA VI to a pass, our store check flags the change.

What would change this verdict
Microsoft or Rockstar announcing GTA VI for Game Pass, or Microsoft Store listing it as included with a pass.
